Should be... Don't know for sure. Here is what I did long time ago:
dissolve Iodogene in chloroform, aliquote in glass tubes (1 tube/reaction; we used
200 ul volume), completely dry out under vaccum (a regular fume hood works as
well but much slower; the film of iogogene is well visible), close tubes tightly
or wrap them with parafilm, store at -20C. This way nobody in the lab, ever,
noticed any difference between fresh and 6 months old tubes.
Hope it helps,
